The number of straight bars in this series is so good. Some of have called it cringe and forced but I loved it. If you can get one line that conveys and encapsulates a moment then that’s better than random dialogue
@@Knightowl1980 It feels true to the writing of Chris Claremont, the man who made the X-Men into the huge success it became. His writing wasn’t subtle, but I remember it forty years later.
You will absolutely bawl your eyes out as this show goes on. Magneto's speech is top tier. "It does not ask you to love my kind as your own. But merely to accept that this is a shared world.... and that my people.... have the right to live in it." It works so well because it's still so relevant.
Just as his speech goes, it may always be relevant because it's History's sad song. "We sing this song to one another. The oppressed become oppressors..."
Don’t worry about not knowing things. At one level, the show is written like a shorthand for mega fans who have read the comics, so lots of obvious Easter eggs to things in the comics are portrayed. On the other hand, the show doesn’t need you to know any of that stuff, it’ll all get explained in the show itself. It strikes really good balance
Just based on your thoughts before and after the episode - and without spoiling anything specific whatsoever - you are 100% on this show's wavelength, and you're going to LOVE the rest of the season.
One thing to keep in mind is that X-Men animated tends to borrow, combine, and streamline storylines from different eras of X-Men and its spin-offs spanning the last 40 years. So when you say "did this happen in the comics?" the answer is usually "yes, but not really like that."
@@GuillermoCambro-cq3gl on what merit? - Pheonix born host - functional immortality - temporal telepathy - astral projection - astral creation - flight And this is just from the Krakoa Age. She may not be beyond omega. But she most definitely is omega.
@@GuillermoCambro-cq3glYes, I do believe it is a very comprehensive list. One that even states; "Like her Mother, Rachel is widely accepted to be Omega level." (Google it) But, I digress. Rachel is a singularity don't forget. Every accomplishment of any personification she has taken is still the same Rachel. This includes Mother Askani. From Days of Future Past to Krakoa and off into the Age of Apocalypse, Rachel has been there. The same one, across all media, singular. Her birthright is well stated as is her legacy. She is the daughter of the Pheonix. Not Jean, the entity. As an extension of its desire to experience life. Hope and Rachel have talked about Resurrection, and Rachel commented about how the Phoenix won't let her die. Rachel fights constantly to keep the Pheonix down because she knows that if it rises in her, she will become the Dark Pheonix reborn. Even if you set all of that aside, Rachel can communicate with herself at any point in her life. Her future can warn her of events to come, her past can ask questions. It strains her, but it is in her list. Limited Time Control. Her Psychometry allows her to project an astral creation of a person/place/thing and track its movements throughout time and space (respectively). It's why she was hired on Krakoa to find proof of dead mutants for resurrection protocols. Ok, let's set that aside, Cable was taught to use his Telekinesis by Rachel and has stated that "She is without equal" (grain of sand on that one, take it to mean he was not her equal) Ok skip that one too. What's left? Her world class telepathy (confirmed by Emma) Her peerless martial prowess (again, grain of sand in a world where Magik lives, she is peerless) Traits that she is referred to as being "virtually limitless" in.

@@beatooze8025 I appreciate the length and effort you put in that post. Many people believe Rachel is omega level but she's not. The list was made by xavier in canon so I've always wondered why she wasn't on it. Maybe the professor is wrong. He has been wrong a lot in the past few years 😅. Also, a mutant with multiple powers can only have one omega level power i.e. jean is an omega level telepath but her telekinesis is not.
I really love how Morph is the ultimate Cameo charachter and the writers can have him turn into whatever cool mutant they want from the absolutely massive X-men roster at any time. Also Logan's reaction to Jean going into labor might be the most Logan thing he has ever done.
I'm kinda a little bit disappointed about that, that the writers only use him as a "cameo character". In the comics, he can moprh into anything he can think of, not only in people (like the T-1000 in Terminator 2) and he his much funnier.

The rogue and magneto thing isn’t talked about in any of the movies or shows, they somewhat had a thing in like the 80’s or 90’s comics. This show doesn’t expect you to watch/know anything before really, they explain everything pretty well don’t worry!
@@AngelWolf12They had something in the Savage Land in Season 2? I can't remember that, that this was already made for the 90s show. In the comics, yes, there was a Savage Land Story, in that Magneto and Rogue had a short romance - this was before Gambit was introduced in the comics. Then there was a second time in the main universe, where Rogue and "Magneto" where a thing. During the 90s, when Magneto had lost his memories and called himself Joseph, Rogue brought him to the X-Men. She and Gambit had some trust issues and that time, because the X-Men learned about Gambit's involvement in the Mutant Massacre, so Rogue couldn't trust him completely at that time. And in 2 different alternate universes (in Age of Apocalspe and Age of X) Rogue and Magneto where married.
They continually go back to the Magneto/Rogue thing in the comics. There was also Age of Apocalypse where they are married with a kid. There was also her time with Joseph.
@@jinxie712 Yeah, I mentioned the Age of Apocalypse, but in the Marvel Prime universe, I just remember the Savage Land romance and the flirting with Joseph, but beyond that? I didn't read the recent X-Men comics (I stopped about 10 years ago), except for House of X/House of Power and about the 10 following issues of each series and the Gambit/Rogue Wedding.
Late to watch/comment: but Rogue was originally a bad guy. She almost killed Carol Danvers in her first appearance. Permanently taking her powers and personality for a time. She was raised by Mystique and made part of the Brotherhood. Eventually she leaves and joins the X-men; taking a long time to earn their trust.
I’m so happy you’re watching this one because I think you’re gonna love it, based on other things I’ve seen you react to. Excellent writing throughout the show, and the animation was so crisp; I was shocked when this came out because I was expecting it to be very mid. Turned out to be my favorite thing this year so far! Can’t wait to watch this series with you, one of the best reactors out there! ❤️
When the two episode premiere happened after the first episode I was like wow thats really good. The 2nd episode just absolutely blew my mind. To have that epic a climax with Magneto and the UN within 1hr of tv was masterful. There are shows that spend entire seasons reaching for those heights only to fall short and its only a taste. The season is unbelievably good. Small nitpicks here and there but overall just incredible.
1. "X-Men (1992)" and "X-Men '97" are a continuous story, with '97 picking up 6-12 months after the series finale of '92. 2. Bishop was a recurring guest star in "X-Men '92" and had long hair. He's also featured in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" in the Fox Universe, where Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) sends him back in time several hours to a couple days to warn of the Sentinels' arrival. 3. The Fox X-Men movies, while very good, differ in several ways from the comics. This is neither good nor bad, it just is. The stories in '92 and '97 are closer to the original comics. Many storylines in both '92 and '97 are inspired by the comics, especially from the '80s and '90s. For example: a. Raven Darkholme (Mystique) is Kurt Wagner's (Nightcrawler) mother. This has since been retconned to have her be his father. b. Rogue was initially introduced as a villain fighting the Avengers. As I recall, she was a member of the "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" at the time. c. The original Uncanny X-Men team in the comics (1963) consisted of Scott Summers (Cyclops), Jean Grey (Marvel Girl), Henry "Hank" McCoy (Beast), Warren Worthington III (Angel), Bobby Drake (Iceman), and Professor Xavier. 4. The following from this episode are all things that were telegraphed from the comics: Magneto's costume change, Rogue's history with Magneto, Storm losing her powers, the birth of Nathan Summers, and the second Jean Grey. 5. Tissues will absolutely be required for the upcoming episodes. *Spoiler Alert: Finale of "X-Men '92" - "Graduation Day" and the fate of Charles Xavier: 6. At a press conference, Henry Gyrich pushes a 'Mutant Containment Bill' and shoots Professor X with an energy disruptor, putting him in a coma. The X-Men struggle to find help, contacting Moira MacTaggert and considering Xavier's interstellar soulmate, Lilandra, Empress of the Shi'ar, but they can't reach her. Mutant uprisings spread, and Magneto is chosen to lead the mutants. After a fight, Magneto helps the X-Men contact Lilandra by supercharging Xavier's mental link with her. Lilandra takes Xavier for Shi'ar care, leaving the X-Men and Magneto on Earth, with the expectation that Xavier will never return.
I don't think that Magneto is a trickster villain, but one that humanity prove him right about the dream of coexistence. They will further explore Magneto/Rogue, and keep that ominous premonition in mind. This is such an incredible season of television, in general, with this sequel series to that amazing 90s series that is so beloved.
There's a reactor called Storm Akima reboot and her guest reactor or cohost said her daughter was weeping at this, and kept asking her if Storm would be okay. She (as a comic fan would only expect Storm to pull through.) She told her daughter not to worry, she'll be okay.
Yes, Rogue and Magneto were a thing in the comics for a time. The two Jean's are also a BIG part of the comics and continue to be relevant to this day and age. You're going to love what is to come!
This show is what it FEELS like to read a comic. It has so many great moments, both small and large, that are beautiful and powerful. Multiple speeches that are fundamental to emotional connection. The many important moments we get seeing how the X-Men were intended to represent all of the real-world minorities and how complex and different all of the viewpoints are. It's beautiful, and scary, and most importantly... Important. It's so *important* to see this world and all of it's peoples as one, and this show has done such a stellar job at making that point as necessary as they could make it
In the comics Rogue and Magneto where stranded in the Savage lands and developed a romantic relationship but it was more of a fling that ended once she is reminded of his villainous side when he kills the leader of the inhabitants Zaladane. Their relationship is explored and expanded later in other alternate realities such as the Age of Apocalypse where Xavier died before forming the X-men and Apocalypse took over the world. In this realy they have a son name Charles.
The writing in this show is probably one of the best that I've seen in an Marvel audiovisual product. Magneto has some incredible lines during the series.
There's something so horrific about taking someone's inborn lifelong talent. Blinding a painter. Breaking the fingers of a pianist. Deafening a musician. As a punishment, it's horrific. As something inflicted out of jealousy and hate...just next level.
One thing I love about this show is how at least once an episode there is an awesome shot or visual that looks like it would've been a comic book cover, "This issue the X-Men face . . . [ANTAGONIST]!" Looking forward to your next . . REACTION!
Rogue's comic introduction to the X-Men was as one of Magneto's team, but she was sold on the X-Men side of the argument and changed sides at the end of the intro story. Asteroid M was Magneto's space base.
What do you think Logan told his auto insurance company? Since they’re X-Men, I’d imagine they all have VERY comprehensive ‘mutant mishap’ coverage and Charles’ estate pays some outrageous premiums.
Asteroid M was supposed to be Magnetos mutant safe haven from humans in earth orbit, but was shot down in the end and seems to have fallen into the ocean.
Charles was playing 4D chess by making Magneto the leader of the X Men. 1) The X Men gets to keep a close watch over him 2) Magneto is guilt tripped into living up to Charles' legacy 3) Scott and Jean gets to live their own life 4) Magneto is better at keeping Logan in check than Scott ever could
Here's a little catch-up. The comics Rogue is quite different from the movie Rogue. In the comics, Rogue was adopted and raised by Mystique, who is the parent of Nightcrawler, making them siblings. Also, the relationship between Rogue and Magneto is new to us, never having been mentioned in the show.
The Rogue/Magneto thing was not introduced in the X-Men Animated Series, and is not something the average viewer would know, so don't feel left out and just treat it as new information. It is instead referring to a time they spent together in the comics, and will be explored more in the show going forward.
The dialogue in this show is rock solid. At certain points touches the truly special. But Magneto gets some of the best. This is my favorite super hero soap opera in ages. Asteroid M was featured in the original show run. It sort of became Magneto's own independent mutant nation. Of course things went all arch and became more an orbiting base for his mutant crew.
This series was so incredibly good, beyond the nostalgia, the amount of heart in the writing, it’s just cathartically satisfying, even when breaking our hearts. I wish the MCU had this level of storytelling. It would be much better for it.
As spectacular as this episode is, there is an upcoming episode that is among the best single episodes of a television series I've ever seen. The second it ends, you'll know which one I mean. Omega Level Series.
Me: Going to bed YT Reccomend:: FLG / X-Men video. ..... New plan, lol. In relation to your questions about the animated series: The old show did give us Asteroid M, Magneto building a base in orbit, because of course he did. The old show did not give us Rogue/Magneto, though it did give us flashbacks reminding us who she was raised by/worked with before the X-Men. And now I too have this glorious theme song stuck in my head. Time to go jam out to it.
RUclips algorithm just advertised this video to me. Subscribed to go on this ride of these episodes again with you! If you thought episode 2 was gut wrenching, just wait!
I've seen it said already but the Rogue and Magneto stuff is very much a comic thing that they've bought into the show. There's actually a lot of comic stuff in this first season which I won't go into but very, very much appreciate as a comic book nerd. It's obvious that the writers are fans of the books just as much as they are the 90s cartoon
I believed Magneto when he first arrived. Charles and Erik may have fought each other in the past, but every version of the X-Men you can tell they were friends once. Their time in the Savage Lands from the 90s series showed how close they were. Even stripped of their powers they risked their lives for each other. If anything could get Magneto to change, then it would be Charles's death.
Shoutouts to My Storyboard Teacher, Chase Conley for directing this. A lot of good friends touched a lot of these scenes and the love really shines through
In the comic books....Rogue and Magneto became a couple in "The Age of Apocalypse" ......Other comic book series where Gambit can also touch Rogue, they got married and became a powerhouse couple in the comic books. Lots of throwback and easter eggs from the comics books! Would you believe it??? They've recont Cable's full name to "Nathan Christopher Charles Summers" because of this episode.
It might be worth either straight up watching the XMen Animated Series (92-96) or finding a recap. You can see Charles and Magnus rekindled bromance and why Charles starts of 97 MIA. X-Men 97 picks up almost after the 92-96 animation!
There's a lot of stuff in this season that comes straight from the books. They didn't go into Rogue and Magneto's relationship in the original cartoon so you can't be blamed for not recognizing it. Also mutants aren't always guaranteed to give birth to other mutants. Sabretooth and Mystique gave birth to a normal human.
Magneto and Rogue have a history in the comics. And Rogue was originally a villain. She drained out Captain Marvel's power, and that's why she flies and has super strength.
I loved the first episode but this episode made me understand that this was going to be the top tier of x men content outside of the comics. Get ready for the very best of X-Men
That Magneto speech is the stuff of legends.
“Don’t make me let you down” is very good writing.

The tears from Magento's face while overwhelmed with vengeance and anger. Always gets me.
Yes also he really tried. He was absolutely genuine.
"Dont make me let you down"
Is the best line ever 🎉

"Do not make me let you down"

Forget being the Master of Magnetism, Magneto is clearly the Master of Monologues.
He's had decades to practice.
"Call me Toastneto and raise me up!"

In a "thank you may I have another?" kind of way. 🤣😭

Yeah, in the comics, if I remember correctly, Rogue and Magneto dating took place after events that were actually kind of adapted in the finale.

She was raised by Mystique and made part of the Brotherhood. Eventually she leaves and joins the X-men; taking a long time to earn their trust.
Asteroid M is a base that Magneto used in the comics in a few different versions, and in the original animated series as a “safe haven” for mutants.
I appreciate your reactions and vulnerability so much and wanted to say thank you :) Also, your dance moves are amazing with the intro music lol
I’m so happy you’re watching this one because I think you’re gonna love it, based on other things I’ve seen you react to. Excellent writing throughout the show, and the animation was so crisp; I was shocked when this came out because I was expecting it to be very mid. Turned out to be my favorite thing this year so far!
Can’t wait to watch this series with you, one of the best reactors out there! ❤️
So excited you're watching this series. It's so good!!! Also Rogue and Magneto was a thing in comics but not really in the series previously.
This show is soooooooo good it’s brought me to tears a few times 😢😊
When the two episode premiere happened after the first episode I was like wow thats really good. The 2nd episode just absolutely blew my mind. To have that epic a climax with Magneto and the UN within 1hr of tv was masterful. There are shows that spend entire seasons reaching for those heights only to fall short and its only a taste. The season is unbelievably good. Small nitpicks here and there but overall just incredible.
1. "X-Men (1992)" and "X-Men '97" are a continuous story, with '97 picking up 6-12 months after the series finale of '92.
2. Bishop was a recurring guest star in "X-Men '92" and had long hair. He's also featured in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" in the Fox Universe, where Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) sends him back in time several hours to a couple days to warn of the Sentinels' arrival.
3. The Fox X-Men movies, while very good, differ in several ways from the comics. This is neither good nor bad, it just is. The stories in '92 and '97 are closer to the original comics. Many storylines in both '92 and '97 are inspired by the comics, especially from the '80s and '90s. For example:
a. Raven Darkholme (Mystique) is Kurt Wagner's (Nightcrawler) mother. This has since been retconned to have her be his father.
b. Rogue was initially introduced as a villain fighting the Avengers. As I recall, she was a member of the "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" at the time.
c. The original Uncanny X-Men team in the comics (1963) consisted of Scott Summers (Cyclops), Jean Grey (Marvel Girl), Henry "Hank" McCoy (Beast), Warren Worthington III (Angel), Bobby Drake (Iceman), and Professor Xavier.
4. The following from this episode are all things that were telegraphed from the comics: Magneto's costume change, Rogue's history with Magneto, Storm losing her powers, the birth of Nathan Summers, and the second Jean Grey.
5. Tissues will absolutely be required for the upcoming episodes.
*Spoiler Alert: Finale of "X-Men '92" - "Graduation Day" and the fate of Charles Xavier:
6. At a press conference, Henry Gyrich pushes a 'Mutant Containment Bill' and shoots Professor X with an energy disruptor, putting him in a coma. The X-Men struggle to find help, contacting Moira MacTaggert and considering Xavier's interstellar soulmate, Lilandra, Empress of the Shi'ar, but they can't reach her. Mutant uprisings spread, and Magneto is chosen to lead the mutants. After a fight, Magneto helps the X-Men contact Lilandra by supercharging Xavier's mental link with her. Lilandra takes Xavier for Shi'ar care, leaving the X-Men and Magneto on Earth, with the expectation that Xavier will never return.
Excited for this reaction, such a good show!
The writers went hard with this series.
The moment i heard that speech Magneto did in the atmosphere, i said this is a MASTERPIECE!
I don't think that Magneto is a trickster villain, but one that humanity prove him right about the dream of coexistence. They will further explore Magneto/Rogue, and keep that ominous premonition in mind. This is such an incredible season of television, in general, with this sequel series to that amazing 90s series that is so beloved.
20:37 literally us watching when this was coming out weekly 😂
Storm being unable to predict that crack of thunder and getting surprised really broke my heart for her
There's a reactor called Storm Akima reboot and her guest reactor or cohost said her daughter was weeping at this, and kept asking her if Storm would be okay. She (as a comic fan would only expect Storm to pull through.) She told her daughter not to worry, she'll be okay.
The glasses 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Yes, Rogue and Magneto were a thing in the comics for a time. The two Jean's are also a BIG part of the comics and continue to be relevant to this day and age. You're going to love what is to come!
Asteroid M was Magneto's original base when he was leading The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Things were a bit more... on the nose back then.

This show is what it FEELS like to read a comic. It has so many great moments, both small and large, that are beautiful and powerful. Multiple speeches that are fundamental to emotional connection. The many important moments we get seeing how the X-Men were intended to represent all of the real-world minorities and how complex and different all of the viewpoints are. It's beautiful, and scary, and most importantly... Important. It's so *important* to see this world and all of it's peoples as one, and this show has done such a stellar job at making that point as necessary as they could make it
"I need more! MORE!" Yeah, that was my refrain every week when I watched this amazing season.
everytime magneto speaks it is just epic oneliners :D
It takes a powerful person to show mercy, especially to your enemies.
In the comics Rogue and Magneto where stranded in the Savage lands and developed a romantic relationship but it was more of a fling that ended once she is reminded of his villainous side when he kills the leader of the inhabitants Zaladane. Their relationship is explored and expanded later in other alternate realities such as the Age of Apocalypse where Xavier died before forming the X-men and Apocalypse took over the world. In this realy they have a son name Charles.
Hey, it was one of those long days, but I loved your reaction as usual. Thank you.
The writing in this show is probably one of the best that I've seen in an Marvel audiovisual product. Magneto has some incredible lines during the series.
I think I’ve listened to magnetos speech over a hundred times since the show came out!
There's something so horrific about taking someone's inborn lifelong talent. Blinding a painter. Breaking the fingers of a pianist. Deafening a musician. As a punishment, it's horrific. As something inflicted out of jealousy and hate...just next level.
One thing I love about this show is how at least once an episode there is an awesome shot or visual that looks like it would've been a comic book cover, "This issue the X-Men face . . . [ANTAGONIST]!"
Looking forward to your next . . REACTION!
This episode solidified Magneto as one of my favorite marvel characters ever
Rogue's comic introduction to the X-Men was as one of Magneto's team, but she was sold on the X-Men side of the argument and changed sides at the end of the intro story.
Asteroid M was Magneto's space base.
"Don't make me let you down" is the last thing you want to hear a couple of thousand feet above ground 😅
You are in for a rollarcoaster ride with this show.
What do you think Logan told his auto insurance company?
Since they’re X-Men, I’d imagine they all have VERY comprehensive ‘mutant mishap’ coverage and Charles’ estate pays some outrageous premiums.
Asteroid M was supposed to be Magnetos mutant safe haven from humans in earth orbit, but was shot down in the end and seems to have fallen into the ocean.
Charles was playing 4D chess by making Magneto the leader of the X Men.
1) The X Men gets to keep a close watch over him
2) Magneto is guilt tripped into living up to Charles' legacy
3) Scott and Jean gets to live their own life
4) Magneto is better at keeping Logan in check than Scott ever could
Magneto is legitimately trying to do the right thing.
For now.
The difficult part is that "the right thing" is only a matter of perspective AND magnitude.
This series is epic and uffff Magneto Speeches are just perfection
Here's a little catch-up. The comics Rogue is quite different from the movie Rogue. In the comics, Rogue was adopted and raised by Mystique, who is the parent of Nightcrawler, making them siblings. Also, the relationship between Rogue and Magneto is new to us, never having been mentioned in the show.
Magneto’s powerful speech echoes of a statement that has been said numerous times in recent history:
“Be glad we want equality, and not revenge.”
The Rogue/Magneto thing was not introduced in the X-Men Animated Series, and is not something the average viewer would know, so don't feel left out and just treat it as new information. It is instead referring to a time they spent together in the comics, and will be explored more in the show going forward.
They had a bit together when in the Savage land together.
The dialogue in this show is rock solid. At certain points touches the truly special. But Magneto gets some of the best. This is my favorite super hero soap opera in ages. Asteroid M was featured in the original show run. It sort of became Magneto's own independent mutant nation. Of course things went all arch and became more an orbiting base for his mutant crew.
This series was so incredibly good, beyond the nostalgia, the amount of heart in the writing, it’s just cathartically satisfying, even when breaking our hearts. I wish the MCU had this level of storytelling. It would be much better for it.
Magneto giving himself top billing in the intro is basically peak Magneto even before his trial. Goddamn this show is so much fun.
As spectacular as this episode is, there is an upcoming episode that is among the best single episodes of a television series I've ever seen. The second it ends, you'll know which one I mean.
Omega Level Series.
Rouge and magneto met on savage land that’s where they had their romance moment in comics
It happened years ago in the comics. Roll with it.
Love this adaptation to one of my favorite comic stories. Two Jeans?
Me: Going to bed
YT Reccomend:: FLG / X-Men video.
..... New plan, lol.
In relation to your questions about the animated series: The old show did give us Asteroid M, Magneto building a base in orbit, because of course he did.
The old show did not give us Rogue/Magneto, though it did give us flashbacks reminding us who she was raised by/worked with before the X-Men.
And now I too have this glorious theme song stuck in my head. Time to go jam out to it.
RUclips algorithm just advertised this video to me. Subscribed to go on this ride of these episodes again with you! If you thought episode 2 was gut wrenching, just wait!
I've seen it said already but the Rogue and Magneto stuff is very much a comic thing that they've bought into the show. There's actually a lot of comic stuff in this first season which I won't go into but very, very much appreciate as a comic book nerd. It's obvious that the writers are fans of the books just as much as they are the 90s cartoon
I believed Magneto when he first arrived. Charles and Erik may have fought each other in the past, but every version of the X-Men you can tell they were friends once. Their time in the Savage Lands from the 90s series showed how close they were. Even stripped of their powers they risked their lives for each other. If anything could get Magneto to change, then it would be Charles's death.
Shoutouts to My Storyboard Teacher, Chase Conley for directing this. A lot of good friends touched a lot of these scenes and the love really shines through
In the comic books....Rogue and Magneto became a couple in "The Age of Apocalypse" ......Other comic book series where Gambit can also touch Rogue, they got married and became a powerhouse couple in the comic books. Lots of throwback and easter eggs from the comics books! Would you believe it??? They've recont Cable's full name to "Nathan Christopher Charles Summers" because of this episode.
It might be worth either straight up watching the XMen Animated Series (92-96) or finding a recap. You can see Charles and Magnus rekindled bromance and why Charles starts of 97 MIA. X-Men 97 picks up almost after the 92-96 animation!
There's a lot of stuff in this season that comes straight from the books. They didn't go into Rogue and Magneto's relationship in the original cartoon so you can't be blamed for not recognizing it. Also mutants aren't always guaranteed to give birth to other mutants. Sabretooth and Mystique gave birth to a normal human.
Magneto and Rogue have a history in the comics. And Rogue was originally a villain. She drained out Captain Marvel's power, and that's why she flies and has super strength.
I loved the first episode but this episode made me understand that this was going to be the top tier of x men content outside of the comics. Get ready for the very best of X-Men
